Akron Diner Owner Dies Shortly After Obama Visit

Sad footnote to President Obama's surprise visit to a restaurant in Akron today: The 70-year-old owner died of an apparent heart attack less than three hours after his visit, reports the Akron Beacon Journal. Ann Harris was picked up by an ambulance shortly after Obama stopped in Ann's Place, talked to patrons, and got a hug from Ann herself. "She loved Obama," her sister tells the Beacon Journal. "I'm sure this was her highlight." (More Akron stories.)
